Limericks are small funny poems targeted at individuals, poking fun at them. They are meant to be disrespectful. They usually have four lines with the name of the target woven into the first or second line. Here are some of the funny limericks that I wrote during the EFLU Creative Writing Workshop (December 2019) as a part of my hands on exercise:

This one is a take on Virat Kohli and the frequent presence of his wife during his matches:

They all come in sixes and fours
Runs when the great King Kohli scores
But he has a miserable life
When the match is not seen by his wife

…and here is one on PM Modi and his frequent foreign travels:

Around the world does Modi roam
Leaving all the troubles at home
Still he manages to gather praise
Strange is the man and strange are his ways

…this was about Sanjay Raut and all the uproar he created to form a ShivSena-led government in Maharashtra in November 2019:

He will always howl and shout
This man called Sanjay Raut
He’ll haunt you like a ghost
Till his man gets the CM’s post
